K3 - ARI500 and ALS600

Craig WØLV
Hello all.  I have the above configuration.  I have been trying for months now to get all of them to talk.

I had Ameritron check my cable and test it, they say it works.  I sent them just recently the ARI , cable and ALS.  They tested all and say it works.

I have been working with Elecraft and purchased the KXVA and the board with the pullup installed.  I tested the cable and based on my measurements the voltages are on the right leads going into the ARI500.  The link light is on solid when it is plugged into the K3.  I do not hear the ALS600 switching when all 3 are hooked together and the rotary switch is in remote.  When the ARI switch is in the on position the K3 will key the amp but NO power makes it through the amp.  When it off, I get power through the amp, but no amplification.

The cable was built by me, but checked twice by Ameritron.  The only way I can get power out of the amp is take the ARI out of line and plug back in the keying cable form the K3.
Any suggestions or questions.  Any help to make the K3-ARI-ALS to all work together would be appreciated.  Has anyone else made this setup work???
